I am eyeing this workout from Mary:

My favorite non-video resource on foam rolling is this pdf from Mike Robertson on self-myofacsical release:
There's also an article Mike Boyle wrote that may be very useful. I also found this video by Mike Boyle, but I can't vouch for it because I haven't tried it. Perhaps one of our VFers with KinecticFlix would be willing to try it out for you? ETA: I just noticed that one VFer says it's an instructional workout. Youtube also has some great segments, including soem from Mike. In terms of videos, my favorites are: Trudie Styler Dance Cardio (there's a nearly 30 minute segment that focuses a lot on the upper body, which will be perfect for using after you kettlebell workouts-- James!) Fitness Fix (more geared to the lower body) Keli Roberts also has another one that I wrote a review on awhile back. She doesn't do an IT band segment evenly on both sides (I totally missed that) so some people have dinged the workout. I still think it's a nice introduction to foam rolling. Spinervals Flexible Warrior 5.0-Red Panda recommended this one. There are three practices on here: 1) Sun Salulations 2) Core Workout 3) Foam Rolling plus stretching. The 3rd workout isn't just a straight up foam rolling workout--you foam roll and then you stretch. I have only used the 3rd workout (in fact, I did part of it before Leah's upper body workout this morning). I think it's a good workout but I wish the foam rolling was chaptered separately from the stretching because sometimes I just want to do foam rolling. Quote:

Try Youtube clips. I found them very helpful. It was years ago that I first started, so I don't remember what clips I used. But, Amazon posted this link in another post and it looks good to me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8caF1Keg2XU

No just foam rolling, but for mobility in general this site is great:
http://www.mobilitywod.com/ I use a rumble roller a lot and really like it - it was very, very uncomfortable at first (i.e. painful), but I have gotten used to it and it has been great for me. http://www.amazon.com/RumbleRoller-R.../dp/B004JBT2FU |
